Employee completes PDF forms
-
Forms are manually routed via DocuSign

Applications are often sent back to the employee due to data entry errors or incomplete application
The future process will be managed by ASC and will be digitized in ServiceNow
-
Employee will complete a digital form in ServiceNow (eliminates manual form) and can track their request live
